W10 v1803 password issues

W10 v1803...setting up a new PC...created my user name and pw as admin account...

Now I've added an additional account...it will have a password also...
BUT...I do NOT want security questions...
And I can't seem to find a way around it...

This PC is in my house...my wife uses it and I have my own account on it...and the pw never changes...
I don;t need security questions....and if I put them I'll probably forget them...

Thoughts...???

Here is a method but you have to reset your password.

Easier, I think, to adapt.

Thanks John...I do use Keepass as a pw manager...but in this case security questions just are not necessary...
If I have to adapt...I will...BUT.....

Will try your link...
My PW manager has a note section and then I keep Security Questions there.

I do that too (save questions in LastPass) with one difference...
I do not use real questions and answers, just random generated text, much like a token. Because you save it in a system like Lastpass you do not have to remember it
I  did the questions....but searching a way around it...
For simplified account setup (non-microsoft accounts), simply rightclick cmd.exe and "select run as administrator". On that shell, launch
net user /add someaccountname somepassword

Open in new window

McKnife...never thought of that...should work...IF it works then I just CMD line into the admin group and done...

Unfortunatly...I did the questions and the account is set up and running....But I have another W10 to set up and
will try your idea with that one...
